Ginger: "Ey, Niklauseh-" *She coughed out blood.* "He's getting away-"
Klaus: *He closed his eyes and started to focus, as strings of aurora shot up, grabbing each of the white orbs.* (Focus on the Aurorions.) *He reminded himself in thought.*
*The strings of aurora slowly swayed downwards, placing the white orbs back into Ginger's body.*
Ginger: (The pain? It's fading.)
Klaus: (What was that creature? How did it hold its own against my Aurorions? How was he able to absorb some of my Aurorions? Was it an Ancioldrant? A Summonce Scarbra? It was no human.)
Ginger: *She coughed out more blood, as her body slowly reverted back to normal.* "Brother?"
Klaus: "Done." *He grunted and stepped back, dropping to his knees.*
Ginger: *She stood up and staggered towards Klaus in an urgent-like manner.* "Brother."
Klaus: "Manipulating time.. I have yet to master it." *He spoke with a slight wheeze.*
Ginger: (He's exhausted. It's the only logical answer.) *She dropped to one knee and observed Klaus' body in a sisterly-like manner.*
Klaus: "I'm fine-"
Ginger: "You need rest."
Klaus: *He paused in understanding.* "The moment I have gained my stamina, I will eradicate this creature."
Ginger: "Yoeshh." *She nodded her head with a frown of determination.* "Ey, brother. I will assist."
Klaus: *He stared at his feet with concern.* (How was a creature of such power contained in the first place? Why is there no history regarding this creature?)
*Klaus looked up, ignoring Ginger who comforted him.*
Klaus: (Sasuke, Asuna, please bare with me.. Just wait a little while longer.)
Ginger: (My sense of judgement has been the greatest in my family, but-.. I have always been on your side, Niklauseh-)
*Ginger looked down and scanned each strand of grass, trying to notice the difference between them.*
Ginger: (Grass and trees have slowly begun to die, the waters have become contaminated and the air has stopped blowing in some parts of the world.. We must defeat this creature as soon as possible, or the lack of Aurorions will destroy the world regardless of the creature.)
----------
*Ridley walked down a stone corridor, listening to the numerous sounds of armour rattling in the background.*
Ridley: (The death of two Consultants.. Gabby's seal breaking, only one more Unknown Territory remaining-)
*Ridley stopped and started to play with his fingers, as if he was trying to stop his train of thought.*
Ridley: (Gabby.. Will you come to me?) "Will you?" *He looked up to the stone ceiling, triggering a flashback.*
--
Gabriel: "Ridz, thank you."
Ridley: "Why are you thanking me?! Look what I've done to you!" *He grabbed Gabriel's arm, as tears ran down his face.*
Gabriel: "H-Here-" *He clicked his fingers, causing bright white light to blind Ridley.*
Ridley: "Ah-?" *He blinked and found himself deep inside the cave, causing him to look at Gabriel in shock.* (He can still teleport-?!)
Gabriel: "Ridz!"
Ridley: *He nodded his head and wasted no time, starting to prepare his experimental seal.* (I'm so sorry, Gabby!)
Gabriel: "Sir! Sir? It's number forty-seven, sir!"
Ridley: "Pardon, Gabby?"
Gabriel: "It's forty-seven, sir!"
--
Warrior: "Sir?" *A warrior in black armour kneeled down in front of Ridley, waiting for his response.*
Ridley: *He looked down, noticing the warrior.* "Explain yourself immediately."
Warrior: "There have been rumours of Kath's demise, is this true?"
Ridley: "Whether these rumours hold truth or not, does it matter?"
Warrior: "Well, the later ranked warriors are-"
Ridley: "I am the superior Consultant and always will be!" *He shouted in a stern yet professional-like manner, causing the warrior to stare at the ground.* "Tell these pitiful warriors, that if they have a problem with these rumours, to send them down in my direction immediately."
Warrior: "S-Sir-" *He started to shake, as if he was being consumed with fear.*
Ridley: "Dismissed!"
Warrior: "Yes, s-sir!" *He quickly stood up with rattling armour and quickly turned around, hastily walking down the corridor.*
Ridley: *He sighed and stood in a more relaxed manner, watching the warrior leave his sight.* "Gabby, you'd be so happy to know the power I have now. You'd be happy that we have order, but-"
*Ridley frowned to himself and started to walk down the corridor, placing his hand on the stone wall beside him.*
Ridley: "There is no justice in this world." *He started to form a fist, triggering another flashback.*
--
*Ridley and a black demon-like creature stood deep inside a dark cave.*
Gabriel: "Please hurry." *He groaned, as several different coloured glyphs spiralled around him.*
Ridley: *He didn't respond to Gabriel, as he focused all his attention on the glyphs.* (I can't believe-)
Gabriel: *He watched layers of different sized glyphs draw themselves in the air and glyphic, symbol-like glyphs appear on the cave walls and ground.* (I knew you could do it-)
Ridley: (I can't believe this is happening!-) *He sniffed and focused, watching the glyphs glow brighter.*
Gabriel: "Ridz." *He spoke softly, as if he knew this was his last moment.*
Ridley: "Y-Yes?"
Gabriel: "Continue our dream? Be it in this world or the next." *He smiled and a small prism-like glyph spiralled around his head, causing him to slowly fall into a deep slumber.*
Ridley: *Tears ran down his face.* "I will! I'll find a way to cure this weird reaction!" *His sad-filled voice echoed throughout the cave.*
--
Ridley: "G-" *He gasped out of his flashback, slowly shaking his head.* "Gabby-"
*Ridley reached up and looked at his hand, noticing his fingers shake.*
Ridley: *He sniffed with watering eyes and shook his head, keeping his professional-like composure.* (I'll access the Unknown Territories and complete our dream. I will eradicate all evil and spread true justice-)
*Ridley swayed his hand to the side and a black sword materialised out from a swirl of smoke.*
Ridley: *He admired the sword.* (To those that my elemental affinity responds to.)
*Ridley leant to the side and violently jabbed the sword into the stone wall.*
Ridley: *He crushed the air, causing the sword to puff into black smoke, leaving behind a sphere of cracks in the wall.* "I promise you, Gabby. I will do it."
Chapter 2: Birth Date
*Luna sat on a long curved, beach-like shore which circled around a small lake.*
Destiny: "Yue." *She meowed from on top of Luna's head, looking up to the night sky.*
Luna: *She tilted her head down, causing Destiny to focus on the pitch black lake, staring at a mirror-like image of the sky.* "Rusty, he's dead, aye."
Destiny: (What's wrong?)
Luna: "Oh, I dunno aye. Might be the death of a mate?"
Destiny: "Yeup." *She meowed softly in concern.*
Luna: "He died because of all of us, aye."
Destiny: (That's not true-)
Luna: "Oh really? Then tell me!"
Destiny: *She floated off of Luna's head, as if she didn't like Luna's negative emotions.* (He protected us.)
Luna: "You're sayin' it in a positive way, but it's still the same. Protected or because of us.. He still died for the same reason."
Destiny: (I didn't know you cared about him in that way.)
Luna: "I thought we were Soul Linked? You should know how I feel."
Destiny: "..." *She silently hovered in the air, facing Luna.*
Luna: "Don't look at me! I don't wanna see how pitiful I look!"
Destiny: *She hesitantly spun around, facing the lake again.* (Please calm down.)
Luna: "I'm damaged goods, Destiny.. I'm damaged."
&nb
sp; Destiny: (No-)
Luna: "It's really hard for me to accept people."
Destiny: (It's hard for you to accept people?) *She thought in a disappointed-like manner.*
Luna: "I mean.. It's hard for me to trust people, like, be my friends and stuff, aye." *She spoke with growing sadness.* "I really trusted Rusty, and he-"
*Luna looked up and shook her head, as if she was trying to look at the stars with her own eyes.*
Luna: "Died because of me?"
Destiny: (Stop saying this stuff-)
Luna: "Shut the fuck up for once!"
Destiny: "Yeu?" *She unintentionally hissed in fright.*
Luna: "I'm sick to death when people have a word for every fuckin' thing you say.. You don't even know."
Destiny: (Don't know what-?)
Luna: "Just fuck off!"
Destiny: *Her eyes started to water and a transparent blue string which connected her to Luna suddenly snapped in half.* "Yeu.."
Luna: "Just.. You don't even know." *She formed a fist, watching the area turn to darkness.*
Destiny: "Yeup." *She slowly floated away and warped out of the area, finding herself in a sunny valley.*
-
Luna: "You don't even know..." *She spoke in sadness, slowly looking up to the sky even though she couldn't see.* "Happy birthday, me?"
*Luna unintentionally scrunched her fingers, placing her fingernails on her wrist.*
Luna: *Her arms and fingers started to shake.* "I need to be punished. I need to feel what Rusty felt, I need to make amends-" *She grunted with emotion, triggering a flashback.*
--
*Luna sat in her messy room and finished a bottle of rum, causing her to throw it behind her on her bed.*
Luna: *She swayed to each side, before resting against the frame to her bed.* "Nobody loves me-"
*Luna closed her eyes in disgust and violently brushed her arm down, cutting herself with a kitchen knife.*
Luna: "Gah-" *She grunted to herself, as a thin red line appeared across her wrist.*
*Luna sniffed with watering eyes and looked down, watching blood suddenly run down her hand.*
Luna: "I hate the pain-" *She cut herself again, causing her to cry.* "This is what I deserve-"
*Luna angrily gritted her teeth and cut herself several more times, before quickly wrapping her arm up in a red towel.*
Luna: (This is wat I deserve.)
--
Luna: "Wat I deserve.." *She sniffed and swayed her hand to the side, causing five deep cuts to suddenly open up across her wrist.*
*Luna looked down and only stared at darkness.*
Luna: (I can't see?) *She thought to herself in shock, oblivious to the blood which visibly pumped out of two of the five cuts.*
----------
*Dawn shuffled back and forth, as if she was waiting for something.*
Dawn: *She glanced at Lezard and the champion, watching them stand on the spot.* "Be patient, research knows no bounds of time."
Lezard: "Jinkies." *He shook his bottom to each side.*
Champion: "We're in no hurry, Dawn." *She smiled with her eyes closed.*
Dawn: *She pushed her glasses up with two fingers, glancing at several Rosterology screens with slight sorrow.* (Trevour passed away? Research has calculated, that the average lifespan for those that are in guilds are quite short. Despite research already telling me, I'm quite upset by this recent.. Information.)
Lezard: *He adjusted his cone-shaped hat.* "Lezard wonders what everyone is up to."
Champion: "Rachael has been wandering around the city by herself. Nathan and Karol have constantly been training together, and-"
Lezard: "Loozamotto?"
Champion: "Luna seems to be entering The Twilight Forest quite frequently."
Dawn: "The Twilight Forest? That place can be very dangerous. It has the most Spacial Funnels than any other forest in the world."
Lezard: "She's a scary woman, I'm sure she can handle herself."
Dawn: "But-"
Champion: "Oh my, but he's quite right. Luna with Destiny's Soul Link, together they are very powerful."
Dawn: *She focused back to the screen, causing her to shake her head.* "It's still scanning."
Champion: "What exactly are you scanning?"
Lezard: *He nodded his head.* "Lezard was minding his own business trying to find more delicious jokes, but all these sirens went off. What has happened?"
Dawn: "The sirens from a moment ago?"
Champion: "Oh my, why yes. That's why we're here."
Dawn: "Research picked up the same energy signature that is involved with the corruption."
Champion: "The yellow-eyed disease? The man-made disease?"
Dawn: "Yes."
Lezard: "What does this mean?"
Dawn: "From the information we know, it's only feasible that the person who made the toxin or corrupted Radiatons has released another batch."
Champion: "Oh my."
Lezard: "Holy fish-cakes!"
Dawn: "That's what the sirens have detected."
Champion: "We have to tell the others right away."
Dawn: "I didn't want to tell anyone until research told me all the details."
Lezard: "Lezard will be a good boy and fetch everyone, okies?"
Champion: "Just be mindful of what has happened."
Lezard: (Trevmeister.) "I know, thankies."
Dawn: *She focused back to the screen.* (Why is it taking so long to find the origin to the wave?) "I'm not sure when research has finished, but please."
Lezard: "Ooo! Compliments from the devilish Dawn? Yay!"
Dawn: "Out!"
Lezard: "For research!"
Dawn: *She fist pumped the air by habit, causing her to frown at Lezard's back, as he purposely trotted out of the facility.* "Why you!"
Lezard: "Bwarharharh." *His laughs echoed down the hallway.*
Champion: *She sighed at Lezard and focused her attention to Dawn.* "Anything I can do while I wait?"
